Follow on Google News | Integrating History and Art, New Hands-On Resource Helps Teachers of Ancient HistoryWhat was Moses wearing when he led the Hebrews out of Egypt? How can Hannibal have used an elephant as a weapon in battle? What are those mysterious objects King Narmer of Egypt is holding?
Now, students (age 6 to 12) can make these distant civilizations come alive. Famous Figures of Ancient Times: Movable Paper Figures to Cut, Color, and Assemble allows children to perform their own historical re-enactments, or even create new stories using famous people from ancient times. The activity book presents 20 historical figures—kings, generals, philosophers, religious leaders, scholars, and one elephant—in both pre-colored and color-them-in versions, to cut out and assemble into moveable action figures. A brief biographical note on each figure is also included, along with a list of resources. “Famous Figures of Ancient Times is a consumable book of colorful, movable paper figures that any parent or child can put together...a wonderful supplement for any ancient history curriculum, as well as a simple source of rainy day fun, Famous Figures of Ancient Times is highly recommended.”— “Great for kids who like crafts: detailed, colored figures from history, from Narmer to Augustine, to cut out and assemble. The figures are on cardstock with moveable joints. Good for decorating time lines or just for fun.”—Susan Wise Bauer and Jessie Wise, in The Well Trained Mind (3rd Ed. W.W. Norton), Charles City, Virginia.
